> If everything is highlighted, nothing is highlighted. Somewhat related, I got used to turning off syntax highlighting for some coding sessions. It started when I was using vim to edit large data files and syntax highlighting there was buggy. Later, I worked with large react files, where with each JSX block the latency and highlighting reliability was getting worse. So I turned it off too and I was surprised that I didn’t see a big difference in readability after that. I’d still use syntax highlighting for backend work. But I don’t mind looking at large html files or react prototypes sans highlighting.
